I am using xp in a lab situation and I know there is a trick to installing the software so that all users have access to it. There is a problem when I install office 2000 under an administrator login and it wants to install for every user that logs in. I get the 1706 error for SR-1 and I can't get rid of it without hitting the enter key 3 times and then the software works. Do I have to create a user and give that user administrative rights and then install the software under that user and then put the shortcuts on the all users desktop? I am so confused... thanks in advance.

For Office 2K (and it's not a bad idea for all software), install using the true Administrator account (not a user account with admin priveledges). Alternatively, you could try the registry edit mentioned here:
